Something was wrong!
Something was wrong!
Ye Ning looked at his undamaged hands and then at the clean and tidy room.
Was there really an assassin here last night?
He expressed his doubts.
"It can't be!"
Ye Ning's mentality collapsed.
I can't even die like this?
"Marquis Weiwu, are you a turtle?”
Ye Ning gritted his teeth and cursed.
He had already opened his door wide and confirmed that the Overwatch Council's back-stabbing dogs were no longer by his side.
Why aren't you here to assassinate me?
So all those harsh words I said were for nothing?
Is there anyone in the world who is more despicable than you?
I've already said it to that extent, can you still tolerate it? Why the f * ck can you tolerate it?
Ye Ning stomped his feet in anger.
He rolled up and punched the air.
After the fight, he was still angry.
Who said that Marquis Weiwu would seek revenge for the smallest grievance?
I think he simply has no temper. He left me, this scourge, and didn't come to kill me. Is this reasonable?
Are you worthy of your notoriety?
Ye Ning was really angry this time.
Because he felt that his previous efforts were all useless. He felt like he was performing for the blind.
He was very depressed.
However, no matter how depressed he was, life had to continue.
Ye Ning stretched out his hand out of habit.
Then, he immediately realized that something was missing today.
"Where's Xuanxuan?"
He thought of Little Mute.
Habits were very scary. He was someone who didn't like to be taken care of, so he was already used to Little Mute waking up first every morning to help him get dressed, wash up, and eat.
Usually, he didn't feel anything, but today, he felt uncomfortable.
"Why are you still sleeping?"
He saw the sleeping Little Mute.
This wasn't the little girl's usual style.
He walked to the side of the bed and saw that Little Mute was sleeping soundly. His little face was filled with exhaustion.
However, Ye Ning didn't think too much about it.
He was like this when he was young. He could eat and sleep. Sometimes, it was a good thing to sleep a little longer.
He didn't treat Little Mute as a servant girl, so he naturally wouldn't be angry because she overslept.
Instead, he considerately covered her with the blanket and put on his own clothes.
"Why didn't this Weiwu Marquis find someone to kill me? Did you change your personality?"
Ye Ning still couldn't figure it out when he was putting on his clothes.
If Weiwu Hou was here, he would definitely go up and question him. Brother, this doesn't fit your character.
At this moment, an exclamation came from outside.
It was Old Yellow's voice.
Ye Ning hurriedly pushed the door open and went out. Then, he was also stunned.
His courtyard was filled with corpses.
At a glance, there were at least dozens of people.
The old yellow-headed man and the cook listened to Ye Ning's words and waited until the sky was bright before they went out. In the end, they saw this scene.
The cook fainted.
Old Yellow's head and legs were weak, and he couldn't get up. The exclamation just now was from him.
"What's going on?"
Ye Ning looked at the corpses.
All of them were dressed in black, their faces covered, and they were holding weapons.
It was not difficult to guess that he was an assassin!
In other words, there really was an assassin who came to kill him last night.
Ye Ning felt a headache coming on. He carefully thought about the whole thing.
"Marquis Weiwu wasn't a coward. He really did find an assassin, and the assassin came as promised…but they didn't kill me, and were killed instead.”
"Then here comes the problem.
" Who did this?!"
Ye Ning was furious.
Tsk!
Which turtle bastard ruined my plans!
He had failed too many times. In fact, he was numb and used to failure.
But this time, he was furious.
The reason was simple.
I've been stabbed in the back again!
I don't even know who backstabbed me this time.
What the f * ck!
……
An hour later.
Ye Ning squatted on the threshold and watched the Overwatch Council people busy themselves.
After the news spread, Wei Wentong and the others rushed over immediately.
It was definitely not possible to pile up the corpses here. They were busy collecting the corpses.
During this process, Old Arrester Wei Wentong had already gathered enough information.
"Putting all the details together, these people are the assassins sent by Misty Rain Tower!”
Niu Jinxi also gave his own answer.
"Most of these people died from sword wounds. I believe that a cultivator must have killed them with a sword.”
Using a sword?
Ye Ning immediately looked at Wu Sansi.
The latter spread his hands and said.
"It has nothing to do with me. If I had acted, their corpses would definitely not be in such good condition.”
From the scene, it was obvious that these killers had been entangled with someone.
This was not in line with Wu Sansi's strength.
If he were to step out, how would he be able to entangle them?
Swordsmen's attack power was the best in the world. With one sword, they killed all these little rascals.
Ye Ning thought for a while and felt that this statement was very reasonable.
Moreover, Wu Sansi had already given him the sword talisman, so there was no need for him to come here personally.
He looked at Wei Wentong and Niu Jinxi suspiciously.
"It wasn't us."
The two of them shook their heads.
The reason was very simple. The style of the person who attacked was different from theirs.
Of course, it was not impossible for them to change their style on purpose.
However, after careful consideration, he knew that this possibility was not true.
They were here to protect Ye Ning, not to do anything bad. Why did they have to hide their identities?
Ye Ning did a process of elimination, and then realized to his horror that it really wasn't the Overwatch Council who had done it last night!
Then who was the one who attacked?
"This is too terrifying!"
Ye Ning shivered.
There was actually someone protecting her in the dark!
Too vicious, too despicable.
I'm in the open, and the enemy is in the dark. How can I guard against this?
Ye Ning was so angry that his entire body trembled.
Who was so vicious that he could actually do such a heartless thing!
"Investigate, investigate thoroughly!"
Ye Ning fiercely ordered.
"Find out who is secretly protecting me. I will definitely repay him!”
Ye Ning emphasized the word "repay".
He had to find this person. This person was too much of a threat to him!
Upon hearing the commotion outside, Little Mute, who had already woken up, smiled blissfully and said in his heart.
"There's no need to repay me. Protecting you is my greatest wish.”
……
The people of the Overwatch Council were all professionals.
They quickly cleaned up the scene of the massacre and disposed of the corpses.
When they did these things, they did not deliberately hide it.
Soon, the news spread.
"Have you heard? Lord Ye was assassinated!"
"I knew that a loyal person like Lord Ye would definitely be avenged!”
"Marquis Weiwu is truly insane. He actually dared to hire someone to kill!”
"But Lord Ye is fine, those who died were all assassins!”
"This is called the blessing of heaven."
The capital was abuzz with discussion.
Many people were relieved to know that Ye Ning was fine.
However, the Weiwu Marquis Residence was filled with grief.
Everyone was silent out of fear and huddled in a corner.
Because Lord Marquis had started smashing things again.
"Trash! Misty Rain Tower is trash! Why can't you even kill a civil servant!"
Weiwu Hou was so angry that his liver hurt.
Was this Ye guy's life that tough?
Misty Rain Tower failed?
He was angry.
Ye Ning was even angrier.
One wanted to kill, and the other wanted to be killed.
They were enemies, but their goals were strangely the same.
The fact that he didn't die this time was a huge blow to Ye Ning.
He could be wary of enemies in the open, but how could he be wary of enemies hiding in the dark?
If this person could save him once, he could save him twice or thrice!
If this person is not eliminated, there will never be a day of peace!
Just as Ye Ning was furious and wanted to dig out the true face of this "evil person"...
An imperial edict came from the palace.
It was to inform Ye Ning and the four judges of the Overwatch Council to go to court.
Generally speaking, the administrative ranks of the Overwatch Council were not conventional. Unless the emperor had called for them to attend court, there was no need to attend.
Knowing that they were going to court, the other three judges were very excited.
Cai Xianggao was slightly better. He had seen the emperor when he participated in the court examinations.
Wei Wentong and Niu Jinxi were not so lucky. They wanted to broaden their horizons. After all, as officials, the throne room itself had a great attraction to them.
To be able to go to the throne room, attend court meetings, and talk to the emperor.
This was an honor.
"I won't go."
Wu Sansi chose to refuse.
He was very determined and very resistant to the Imperial Palace.
This made the others curious, but also somewhat helpless.
Ye Ning did not want to go either.
He just wanted to hurry up and find out who the culprit who saved him last night was.
However, he was a key figure in today's court meeting and could not be absent. He could only lead the three of them into the palace with a dark face.
When they were about to reach the throne room, Liu Jin came over and said in a low voice.
"Today's court meeting is not ordinary. Sir, be careful!”
